[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any party, lobby or an individual politician advocating for people who work without titles and compensations? Its been a traditional role serving nation’s most important units known as families, nation’s most important asset known as minor citizens and nation’s most important buildings known as homes. They fill so many voids in the society but get no recognition, no compensation or no one protecting this endangered species. Isn’t it about time for them to stand up for their rights and for others to acknowledge and support it?[/quote]

Or, what if you’re wrong? What if your version of what’s the “most important “ is simply, and perhaps selfishly just flat out wrong?  Whose recognition do you feel is lacking? Who should provide “compensation “? At what point did SAHMs become an “endangered species “?  What are you getting out of this?

Many politicians have fought for a multitude of family-friendly policies.  Most of us pay taxes that support schools and health supports that overwhelmingly benefit families and children.  Most people who opt to “ work without titles” for the benefit of their families do so because they garner recognition, compensation, and protection from these families that they have freely chosen to prioritize.  
What rights do you feel SAHMs lack?  Do you genuinely have any goals beyond stirring up discord?

There's decades of research showing the mothers are discriminated against. It's called the [b]motherhood penalty in the labor market[/b]. Turns out, fathers get a benefit in this same market.[/quote]

Maybe, but that has nothing to do with the OP.  OP is actually saying that those that [b]are not in the labor market[/b] at all are somehow owed.....something?[/quote]

This. The only people who owe them something, if anything, is their spouses. They're not prohibited from getting jobs. They chose not to.[/quote]
